I have root on a debian server..
i want to add a command that my users can type..
i.e they type "get-muh" and it performs a wget <url> command.... is this possible, if so please inform me as to what command(s) i would have to do or whatnot...

make a script call "get-muh" that has this in it:

#!/bin/sh
wget my.url.com

then give it executable permissions...

chmod 755 get-muh

then put it in /usr/bin or some other common place

-K

Thanks very much

i take it i do like...
wget url....
tar zxvf muh....
rm muh...tar.gz

it will perform each command after each are fully completed... just incase the last command deletes the tar.gz before its untar'd...
